Chapter 2 Installation

is is a Deep mini-ITX form factor motherboard. Before you install the

motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the

motherboard ts into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard

•

components. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries and damages to motherboard

components.

In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,

•

NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded

wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.

Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

•

Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or

•

in the bag that comes with the components.

When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-

•

tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

1. Before you insert the 1700-P in CPU into the socket, plea se check if the PnP cap is on the
socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the sock et. Do not
force to in sert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found . Otherwise, the CPU
will be seriously damaged.

2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

is motherboard provides four 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots,

and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

1. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install identical (the same

brand, speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to a ctivate Dual Channel Memory Technology with only one or three
memory module installed.

3. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR 2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4
slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

e DIMM only ts in one correct orie ntation. It will cause permanent dam age to
the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incor rect
orientation.

Before installing an ex pansion card, please make sure that the power supply is
switched o or the power cord is unplugged. Plea se read the documentation of the
expan sion card and mak e necessary h ardware settings for the card before you start
the installation.
